I made a whole Series of videos about eat Veg!
Yes and The person should bot abide with the food based on its senses, It should be to service his or her life.
"they did not have a choice", today the opposite is true. The meat being sourced is linked to the business of killing. I source meat for family but avoid consuming it. Monks and nuns are not allowed to request the food offering but they can give instruction on the avoidance of causing suffering. Ven Dr K Sri Dhammananda has made examples of situations were the consuming of meat is unavoidable.
Knowing that a creature surfers a death, at time quiet cruel, can you as a practitioner of the Buddhist dharma joyfully share the flesh of such creature if an alternative is available. Give a dharma talk on the suffering of the livestock industry and explain that just as those that kill the creature incur so those that encourage incur. Monks and nuns are not excluded.
Buddha taught to seek a un-polluted environments to practice. To avoid loud and crowded places and seek your food from alms round. Stopping to accept food from the first person who offers it and return to your resting place and to share it. Not to seek out the houses of those who offer meat. Its to do with surrender / negation of the self. The approach is all or nothing and there is no use having lawyers arguing exclusions to the dharma.
Kamma (Karma) we create not by action. Action along can not create Kamma (Karma). We must do things intentionally either kindness, compassion sympathy or cruelty. If these things are working in the mind to do this it'll become good or bad Karma.
It's only the quality of mind that matter. If you are vegetarian, do you indirectly kills bugs and various animals that live depend on plants through harvesting and chemicals? Or you think that certain animals are better than others? Do you see the flaws in your reasoning already?

Yes there are degree of difference between varrious animals
Killing goats and killing insects has a large degree of difference between them
U can live a healthy and comfortable life without eating any animals and just eating vegeterian food
But U can't sustain yourself without eating any plants which may cause death of some insects
Here the question is about the amount of pain which we impart to other living organisms ??
Insect's have a Much less developed nervous system as compared to the nervous system of animals.
So they don't experience that degree of Pain while they are killed as compared to animals
If you don't find any degree of difference between killing insects and killing animals, then I don't think U will find any degree of difference between killing animals and killing Human being
By the way Eating animals causes more number of death to insects, plant, bugs, more deforestation,more water wastage then just eating vegetables
It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of edible animal flesh. According to the USDA and the United Nations, using an acre of land to raise cattle for slaughter yields 20 pounds of usable protein. That same acre would yield 356 pounds of protein if soybeans were grown instead"”more than 17 times as much!. Producing the grain that is used to feed farmed animals requires vast amounts of water. It takes about 300 gallons of water per day to produce food for a vegan, and more than 4,000 gallons of water per day to produce food for a meat-eater. You save more water by not eating a pound of beef than you do by not showering for an entire year.
It should be no surprise, then, that food for a vegan can be produced on only 1/6 of an acre of land, while it takes 3 1/4 acres of land to produce food for a meat-eater. If we added up all the arable land on the planet and divided it equally, every human would get 2/3 of an acre"”more than enough to sustain a vegetarian diet, but not nearly enough to sustain a meat-

Purity & impurity in our mind never take place just because the thing we eat " ! Then my question is : If so, then why do we blame alcohol, marijuana, poison, LSD & such things manipulate our sayings & thoughts ? Is that a monk who believes the every best things for this world & some day he takes drug or alcohol drinks & then utter bad things from his mouth ? Its very much possible because the drug can make him do that very easily. Therefore, I reject his logic behind this. Moreover, if you directly or indirectly assist someone in doing something worng then you are also the part of it. Think of a world where everyone is Buddhist thenn who would be the butcher ?
@@shashwatkumar4204 Thanks for your kind and thoughtful reply, now I've understand the problem better.

Hitler was not a vegetarian. At the time Gandhi was gaining popularity and
so hitler said he would eat vegetarian to appear kinder. His favourite meal was quail.
It doesnt matter, everything he says holds value, miserable people are vegetarian all around the world, otherwise there would be no rape in India, also Eskimo's who only eat meat are among the most human people
How you treat the animal and kill shows your humanity also, we cannot ask everybody to become vegetarian But
we can ask them to raise animals in respect feed them the best, prevent all stress and kill as painlessly as possible
@@MrFree-vj8qj
Listen Not all the Indians are vegeterian
It just accounts to about 32 Percent
And the amount of rape taking place in middle East countries are far more than India
It's just the rape victim can complain about the rape and the case is able to get reported in India more than middle East countries
And talking about Eskimos, since they live in the region where no edible plant's products are available, They depend upon eating animals
Whereas here, there is no need for depending upon eating animals when sumptuous vegeterian dishes are easily available to sustain a healthy life.
Buddhist is to abstain from killing and influence other to kill. Yes you can choose. Mahakassapa was once a vegetarian. Showing its possible to choose what eat. Same as the rule not to use money. You have to tell layperson about it.
I realize it's kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released series online ?
@Dean Patrick I use FlixZone. Just search on google for it :)
Most of the saints and sages throughout history were vegitarian. Most people in the world push a trolley to obtain food. Compassion is not something most people express to other sentient beings.
If impurity doesnt take place by eating, why did buddha forbid onions garlic leeks etc?
Sadhu... Sadhu.....sadhu
food and mind very cloose afection is there kama kroda
Look at my videos about being vegetarian Buddhists.
Eating nonveg is not sin or bad... Becoming the reason of behind killing or violence with some creature is sin
When you buy meat, you become the cause for an animal to be killed
@@jaionutube1 If that animal was killed for the person who by meat, he (Buyer)will create bad karma.
@@jaionutube1 If that animal was killed for the person who buy meat, he (Buyer) will create bad karma.
@qw0101 Like that situation Buddha explain it clearly for the Monks, if you have to eat any meat (somebody offer you meat or fish) you have to ask and make sure whether that animal has killed for you or not. If animal had killed for you, Better you don't eat them to not to create bad Karma. Basically it's a law to all the monks. We can do the same thing if we want to be purify.
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu
I differ from the monk. What we eat is essential for spiritual life. If you kill someone for your food, you can't be spiritual, and you are just a hypocrite. Buddha's teaching got diluted, and the fundamental essence was changed.
Just refer to the Panchsheel, the Five precepts or five rules set in Buddhism ànd are the most crucial system of morality for Buddhist laypeople. (Quoted from Wikipedia).
The first precept itself consists of a prohibition of killing both humans and all animals. (again quoted from Wikipedia).
So to accept none vegetarian food for a Buddhist itself means negating the fundamental teachings of Buddhism.
You have explained principles of Monk. But what about common man?A person might not be able to eat meat he may vomit who have never taken meat in life.
He did say it's up to the individual. Eat it if the purity of the mind isn't affected by disgust or doubt, otherwise don't.
@@TripXization but for eating that u have to kill innocent animals giving them enormous amount of pain
@@shashwatkumar4204 or you can shoot them in the head with compassion to have no pain in death.
@@shashwatkumar4204 that's how the food chain works on this planet. That's the law of the nature
So said at @1:20 "Purity & impurity in our mind never take place just because the thing we eat " ! Then my question is : If so, then why do we blame alcohol, marijuana, poison, LSD & such things manipulate our sayings & thoughts ? Is that a monk who believes the every best things for this world & some day he takes drug or alcohol drinks & then utter bad things from his mouth ?

Yes I agree with you regarding whatever you consume etc is irrelevant if your mind is pure, So yes, why not smoke or drink etc? I am a vegetarian but only because whenever I see a piece of meat, I see a life that once was. I wouldn't eat a dead person or monkey, tiger etc.. so why should I view cows, chicken, fish any different..... eating meat, doesn't sit well with me morally.
According to the Buddhism, anything you use to make you drunk by knowing, create bad Karma.
Be Vegetarian Or Not
If you are a monk you cannot chose. Purity of mind is most important. You eat what you are offered.
If you are a layperson you can chose what to eat. Because you earn money. Pay your money to a vegetable farmer rather than let it go to large scale slaughterhouses. Live your life such that there is least suffering in the world.

But killing happen because people eat non vegetarian, so indirectly bound to ill Karma.
There are three things for a karma to complete
1. Intention
2. Action
3. Completion of the action.
So if you do not have the intention to kill, the karma won't complete. The strongest part of the karma is your intention. If you do not eat meat with the intention of killing but because of hunger I think there won't be bad karma. However it is better to be a vegetarian for the health benefits
It doesnt not matter if they where vegetarian or not, everything he says holds value, miserable people are vegetarian all around the world, otherwise there would be no rape in India, also Eskimo's who only eat meat are among the most human people

We know water has form based on vibrations, while killing a animal the torture it gone through registered in the blood, that will lead to bad Karma. - by Student of Buddha .
Kamma (Karma) we create not by action. Action along can not create Kamma (Karma). We must do things intentionally either kindness, compassion sympathy or cruelty.
If you make your diet a religion and forcing it into others there it becomes bad. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

These monks are responsible for the civil war in Sri Lanka.
Humans are omnivores by nature. Buddhist or not, humans have been omnivores since cave dwelling times. Biology and evolution pretty much states this fact, so I see no "sin/bad karma" for doing something that you as a human was already evolutionary/biology design to be. Am I saying you can't be vegan/vegetarian? Of course not, its your choice. But before any religion tells you on what you should or shouldn't eat, remember that science and evolution says otherwise ;)
Pescatarian.... Fish eaters
Pls this monk is Mis guided and they are the ones that destroyed Sri Lanka
that is not a valid argument
Stalin and Mao are non vegetarians, so what is the point? Answer his question or shut up, dont detract.
